The details of this activity and resultant student visual depictions will bediscussed in this section. The lab for this week consisted of a 75 minute course block with areading and question prompts assigned for after the lab period. In the lab, the first activity forstudents was to discuss and define the word bias with their peers. At this point in the semester,students have not encountered a formal statistical definition of bias in data. In the next step,students were tasked to read a comic inspired by Dr. Joy Buolamwini’s work on gender shades(Buolamwini & Gebru, 2018). This comic was drawn by Vreni Stollberger and published in

Although many features of NTT faculty employment are problematic [5], ourfocus is on disparities around caregiving support - specifically parental leave and workload reliefpolicies.Despite their critical roles in teaching, mentoring, and research, NTT faculty are often excludedfrom benefits offered to TT faculty, including parental leave and workload relief policies.
